Russia is the biggest nation in the world. Its territory is spread in Europe and a few continents in Asia. The nation did not face any issues as of now. Having a strong military force is its major strength. No nation managed to do anything to Russia despite it waging a war on Ukraine for over a year. But it appears that Russia cannot take any action as it is doing all these days.
Fear Against Russia..
Norway, Finland and Sweden are key in Scandinavian. The nation is regarded as the happiest one. It is also called a peaceful one. But the nation is suffering from the Russia-Ukraine war. People are fearing what will happen to them in the future. Finland, which was not a part of any military organisation, joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO). If anything happened to Finland then the consequences would be big.
Biggest Border
The Finland-Russia border is 1340 km long. Interestingly, no other nation in Europe has such a big border with Russia. The Ukraine war is causing fear in Finland. With this, it joined NATO all of a sudden. Finland became the 31st nation to join NATO. The same was announced on Tuesday. American Foreign Affairs Minister Blinken handed over the papers to Finland Foreign Affairs Haavisto.
Blinken confirmed the joining. Finland could not join NATO as Turkey has been opposing this. Now the same nation accepted the proposal. The rule is that if a new nation wants to join NATO, all the member nations should approve.
Big Slap To Putin
Russia is not letting Ukraine take a breath. Showing NATO as a reason, it is attacking Ukraine. Now Finland, which has a 1300 km border with Russia, joined NATO. This is a big blow to Russian President Putin.
What Happens With Joining NATO?
If any NATO member nation is attacked by the other nation, then the rest of the nations would tackle it. If Russia attacks Finland, it becomes an attack on NATO. So the Finland border will be under the hands of NATO. Russia said that it is closely observing the ongoing developments. It also said that the NATO extension is a problem for it. Russia also said that the recent development is encouraging it to take provocative action. Russia warned that if additional forces are sent to Finland, then it would beef up the forces. However, there are no territory issues between Finland and Russia.
